A Dramatic Call for Tim Geithner's Resignation, Dramatized
REP. KEVIN BRADY (R-TX): You suck. I hate you. Everybody hates you.
TIM GEITHNER: That's not true. Everybody hates the economic crisis, which is what I'm trying to fix.
REP. KEVIN BRADY: No. In the last nine months you, personally, have fired millions of people from their jobs. I think you need a hobby. One that does not involve singlehandedly destroying our economy. If you like numbers, perhaps you should try Sudoku.
TIM GEITHNER: Do you not even remember the past eight years?
REP. KEVIN BRADY: Maybe I'd have more time to remember things if I didn't have to spend all my time worrying about you destroying our economy.
TIM GEITHNER: Jesus fucking Christ.
REP. KEVIN BRADY: I demand that you resign, right now. Give me the keys to your office. And your tie.
TIM GEITHNER: Are you serious?
REP. DARRELL ISSA (R-CA): Kevin! You stole my line!
SEN. CHARLES SCHUMER (D-NY): Hey, can we talk about Chinese currency manipulation for a sec?
TIM GEITHNER: Yes, fine, I'll get on that, Chuck, but ISN'T IT INTERESTING that I can singlehandedly destroy the economy yet I have to ask all these other people before I can impose a few simple trade sanctions on China? Isn't that INTERESTING, Rep. Brady?
REP. KEVIN BRADY: I CAN'T HEAR YOU. I'M SHOUTING TOO LOUD.
The End! (Except, you know, not.)

I'm not sure Geithner is what I would call 'perversely attractive' although I can sort of see you have an eye for perverseness as part of your job description..
My feelings re: the perverse attractiveness of Timothy Geithner have been well-documented on this website. Perhaps a little too well, even.
Well-written, Mary P-S. I think I am in love with Geithner's nose, for what it's worth.
Could it be that some tiny little testicles are starting to grow in Geithner's thus far empty ball sac? He showed a little feisty-ness in his responses to Brady and the other jackasses who like to think of themselves as fair-minded political servants.
I'm no fan of Geithner. I think he's got the smarts to work the problems, but he's shown no leadership or confidence. I picture him as a money geek hunched over his desk writing numbers in tiny handwriting in green ledger like they did back in the old days. And I don't trust anyone who considers himself an expert economist but owes back taxes.
But Geithner's right. The current mess is not his fault. It pisses me off that conservatives are trying to blame this recession on the Obama administration.
Geithner needs to keep watering those little tiny testicles he sprouted and continue to improve his ability to be a forceful presence during tough economic times. That's what he's lacking. Cajones.
